The reputation system isn't going anywhere (yet), GrooveMan is just setting down some rules. If we don't follow the rules, then the rep. system will go.
Even so. Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
(I hope this post isn't spam. If it is I'd gladly remove it.)

I think it's just from his low rep that he wants it to go.
RE: Enough Rep Abuse, People. - Flare - 07-18-2008
Yeah, people, like Chdonga gave me rep as if this was a PM system. And coolyoshi, its about time he just stopped using it. He only gets reps like "He said he liked my sig", the rep system should have genuine reasons like what you think of the person, not what kind of sig they have that week or even the sprites they make since they could make great sprites but have a crap attitude.

I'm not a big fan of it so I'm perfectly fine with it's removal as well. (Calling me a man in the rep systems kinda annoys me since I am female. The next person to do so will get a day off as well as a 20% warn. I'm THAT sick of it.)

People don't understand that eather and yet they get pissed off at the mod who bans them. In all honesty if the other mods and admins don't unban you that means the reason why you where banned in the first place is a legitimate reason.
Basically if you get banned it is your own fault. We have rules for a reason and you need to deal with them. However you can trust the staff team in what they are doing. If the staff was untrustworthy do you really think Dazz would keep us as staff? He wants the best for his website and I'm sure that he knows if his staff wasn't doing a good job that he'd get better people for the job.

I don't think they were calling you a man (although that was the side effect - I don't think they have any issues with you), but rather insulting GenericNPC.
He was randomly derepping people for no reason (which is now against the rules, so don't fucking try it guys); and people were picking up on the fact that he was touting you as a trophy girlfriend in all of his posts (and I do mean all).
So be a rad gf and keep him on his leash, 'k? ;D

A topic like this was bound to be made sometime.
RE: Enough Rep Abuse, People. - Rakia - 07-19-2008

Don't forget generic NPC was also being a moron, not trying to be mean to him but the only reason why he was is because he wanted to protect Plasma Trooper (Who was eventually banned for a few days.). I think after the incedent with Plasma tropper and Mozzy Arguing I blieve is where most of the Rep abuse was starting, cause if I recall correctly there was some other arguments afterwards.
(Just to let you know guys I still agree with Mozzy, I am not choosing to switch sides or become neutral within the argument, and I did bother to read those topics.)
And While I am still here....

No offence Lunyka, but after the Plasma Trooper Argument I don't really find you that trustworthy, Which is why I change the vote I gave you to neutral. However I do respect Dazz's opinions even though I dislike them.

You know, this would be easy to solve if there was some sort of way to, you know, show the genders? Of course, given that nobody abuses the gender system (read: is mature enough to actually set their real gender).
Also, Diogalesu, I really can't find the discussion you're talking about. If it's about Plasma Trooper being an emo in the future-topic, then yeah, she had all the rights to lock the topic, also especially due to the fact that xTYVONx didn't really show any improvement (which disappoints me, since xTYVONx is a mod at another place).
RE: Enough Rep Abuse, People. - Alpha Six - 07-19-2008
it's about Plasma Trooper being an emo in EVERY topic
and i made that "futures" topic and didn't want it to get ruined. i said that multiple times before it ended up getting locked.
when in all reality, a simple topic-cleaning would have been just fine.
edit: NOT TO MENTION i was trying to help her stop being such a whiny cunt and she was like "lolno"
RE: Enough Rep Abuse, People. - GaryCXJk - 07-19-2008
Yeah, an actual reason why I made my topic.
But a simple topic cleaning would not suffice. She would just come back and bitch about why her comments were deleted, and then she would cut her wrist in a non-lethal way to get some attention.
RE: Enough Rep Abuse, People. - Alpha Six - 07-19-2008
deal with it like most mods deal with trolls;
- delete post
- warn over PM/warning system
- if warning is ignored, post deletion + ban
that way topics can continue to run smoothly. sure it's more work than just pressing the shiny little lock button but everyone's happier.
it's really not that difficult.
EDIT: that's another thing. it seems like all of the mods and admins forgot about the "delete post" button and just lock topics on the fly.
if this forum software is anything like the others, there are checkmarks near every post as well so you can easily checkmark posts and mass-delete them, keeping the "good" posts intact
